Mountains of Paradise
All night, all night came shimmering light
And lit all winding unseen ways
In clusters came there from the skies
The angels , elves and beauteous fays
Oh Cacusus mount , thou clad in myth!
Thou bath in shining mystery beams!
Thou art a wondrous sight of glee
Thou art a glimpse of heaven's scene
All night all night blew snowy gust,
And all night throbbed the sinking heart
Thy silent, freezing, chilly gloom ,
Oh gracious mount all muses brought !
While pheasants fly upward to skies.
To bring the goddess moon in cart
I see thy meadows in the sky
Who grazes in thy sweet grasslands?
Who send there clouds from yonder skies?
Who garnish thou with beauteous hands?
All snowy flakes with fairies wake
Kiss day and night thy silver sand
Thy peaks all night shine in moonbeams
And daytime glitter with sun-rays
All fairy tales from house of mind
That recall childhood bygone days
He seest thy wild wild scenes of glee
The eyes of sky all time thee gaze
A saddest lass with hazy eyes
Who felt in heart the pangs of pain
Should I call her goddess of glee?
Should I call her a beauty brain?
Night snatches from her eyes dew drops
And clouds snatch from her eyes all rain
All whitish beads in her wild dress
The fairies sew in dreamy nights
While water gushed and gushed in lakes
And sang songs cataracts from height
In midst of soothing nature's scenes
Thy beauteous scene she only sought
She will write for thee beauteous verse
She will love to live in thy heart
Oh harken harken beauteous mount
From heavens for thee she hath brought
All that in broken heart she can
With grief her gloomy heart is fraught
She bought all stars of yonder skies
In moonlit cart for thee hath brought
